1.
Average may be healthy,
but boy is it boring.
I am the sickeningly obese,
I am the deathly thin,
I am anything that will catch your
attention deficit
before you change channels.
I fought and suffraged
to give your little girl a voice.
Now she has the right
to talk about how fat she is.
2.
I have the biggest hair,
I have the fakest nails,
I have the makeup designed to look like it's not there.
I have taken it upon
my surgeon, myself
to correct nature's horrible mistake:
She accidentally made me human.
Fucking a high-ranking official
gets me more attention
than becoming one.
I'm the girl your little girl
is learning from.
3.
I'm ambitious,
I'm educated,
I'm shrewd,
I'm homely.
I try to look past it
but all they talk about is my hair.
Maybe if I cut it dye it shape it kill it
they'll shut up and listen.
I'm giving your little girl
her first
positive role model.
I'm giving your little girl
her first
victim.
